Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I work with adult individuals, couples/relationship members, and adult families. My approach is experiential, somatic and transpersonal. My primary areas of focus are trauma and relationships, including kink, polyamory, and non-monogomy. I work with a broad range of issues. Call for a complimentary brief consultation.

I warmly welcome you as you are, and hold a safe space to support your intention for growth and healing as your witness and companion. I offer experiential therapy, so you can move beyond cognitive understanding to actually having a transformative experience in session. I hold a body-based, integral, and spiritual frame for the work of therapy. (Somatic and transpersonal, to use psychology jargon.) This means that relief and healing can come from integrating mind with body and emotions, and expanding awareness. I have an active style that is much more than simply listening. I identify as a highly sensitive person (HSP) of gifted intelligence, both of which inform my work.

We each have the inherent right and capacity to express our identities, our creativity and sexuality in unique ways that may fall inside, outside or across current cultural norms. As someone committed to her own psychological, spiritual and sexual development, I fully support you in developing and enhancing all aspects of your emotional, intellectual, social, sexual and spiritual identity. My training and experience includes how to integrate emotional, spiritual and sexual dimensions of ourselves, depth psychology, family and human systems, generative trance, breath work, mindfulness and a familiarity with a broad range of special challenges you may be encountering as someone enjoying or exploring polyamory and alternate/queer sexuality and lifestyles. I believe these kinds of explorations into alternative lifestyles contribute to cultural and social richness to our world.

I was on the Practicing Polyamory podcast (August 2021) as a guest, coaching host James Sias on creating diversity and inclusivity in community. https://fermi.ca/fostering-diversity-and-inclusivity/

I work from trauma-informed, anti-racist, and attachment-based perspectives. I’m queer and polyamory-affirming. In our work together, we’ll explore somatic strategies to help calm your nervous system. I work with teens, adults, romantic partnerships (2+), and families. I have experience treating chronic suicidality and self-harm, particularly with teens. I welcome all sexual, romantic, and gender identities, and enjoy working with those who consider themselves outside of social norms. I can provide traditional, process-oriented talk therapy as well as EMDR therapy.

I trained as a humanistic therapist with a focus on relational work, whereby the relationship built with my client, provides a lens on the relationships in their lives, with themselves and the various parts of themselves. I strive to be completely non-judgemental, fully accepting and completely authentic, thereby offering and modelling to the client a way of being that they may not be used to but do need, especially when they are going through difficult times. I also like to work in a body-focused approach, using changes noticed in the body during a session to connect with emotions and thoughts that are spoken about. I also like to offer breathwork in a a session if I feel like a client could benefit from it.

I have been polyamorous for over 5 years and along with my therapeutic work, have learnt and applied communication skills, ownership of insecurities, how to take responsibility for my own needs and feelings, distinguishing between my feelings and that of others and working with attachment insecurity. The clients that I have worked with have often presented with anxiety, depression, past trauma (including PTSD), relationship problems and transitions, neuro-divergent clients and LGBTQ+ clients.

Over 30 years of professional experience utilizing a critical psychotherapeutic framework, including techniques gained from transformative justice practices and grassroots advocacy has informed the direction of my work.

I provide holistic, strength-based, collaborative, non-diagnostic & sex-positive psychotherapy which focuses on building resilience, empowerment and letting go of shame.

My practice is informed by the work that I do with all that I serve; however, the true success of my practice has been developed through my work serving those impacted by institutional betrayal (trauma) related to criminal justice, mental health, educational, military and foster-care systems.

I work with people in alternative relationship (partnered non-monogamy/polyamory) and those with traditional monogamous relationship issues such as infidelity, mistrust and ineffective communication; providing a safe space for poly relationships/individuals to work on other issues without fear of having their open relationship pathologized.

I have been working with couples who are in open relationships for a year now. I have also read extensively on the subject of polyamory and am in a healthy, open marriage myself. I would love to share my knowledge with others that are interested in having their relationships and communication be as healthy as possible.

Do any of these sound familiar? You’re interested in opening up your relationship, and at the same time feel intense anxiety around the idea. Perhaps you have started dating people outside of your relationship and suddenly difficulties in your primary relationship seem to be mushrooming out of control. Maybe you and your partners have navigated multiple relationships well until recently. You and your triad or polycule could use some poly friendly support.

I see people in all of these situations and work to get to the underlying emotions behind the difficulties in order to heal your connections. I am LGBTQI+- and poly-allied and would love to hear from you.
